To determine the total number of atoms in the products of the reaction between one molecule of bromine (Br₂) and two molecules of potassium chloride (KCl), we can analyze the molecular composition.
- Bromine (Br₂): One molecule contains 2 bromine atoms.
- Potassium Chloride (KCl): Each molecule contains 1 potassium atom and 1 chlorine atom. For 2 molecules of KCl, there will be:
- 2 potassium atoms (2 × 1)
- 2 chlorine atoms (2 × 1)
Now, we can add up the atoms:
- From Br₂: 2 bromine atoms
- From 2 KCl: 2 potassium atoms + 2 chlorine atoms = 4 atoms
Total number of atoms = 2 (bromine) + 2 (potassium) + 2 (chlorine) = 6 atoms.
Thus, the total number of atoms in the products is six.
